I enjoy ESPNUs commitment to not showing games that were particularly good or appealing. Opening with a game that was competitive for one quarter and showing the Frisco Bowl in prime time.

Im certain ESPNU would be showing better programming if ESPN+ wasnt a thing.

The gamer word making it's way into Nascar broadcasts, shocking: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/nascar-kyle-larson-racial-slur-1.5530726 quote:Kyle Larson's racial slur cost him his two primary NASCAR supporters. It likely will cost him his job soon.

This seems like a random tangent, but I don't get why news outlets can't just say he used a racial slur instead of "he used the N-word". It makes it sound like we're all back in elementary school or something.

Probably to be more specific, since racial slur could be a lot of things. It does sound silly though.

Fifty Three posted:Thanks for sharing this! Tuned into ESPNU to have the game on in the background while working and of course they're showing the Kick Six with the best version of the call right at that moment. enjoy Awfulannouncing's got good info on their site sometimes but it's loaded down with the fuckin worst autoplay videos and ads all over it that even ublock doesn't seem to entirely kill it. I'll try and keep up on those schedules each morning.

Too many of their articles are "X happened. We'll see what happens next".

https://twitter.com/GolfDigest/status/1250232019063275521 The PGA plans to resume the tour in June. I doubt it happens; like baseball's idea of playing games in Arizona, this feels like a contingency plan in case things magically get better. Still, I think this is the first US sport to name a specific date when they'll be back.

MLB stars not thrilled with the Arizona plan:Mike Trout posted:"Theres a lot of red flags," Trout said in an interview with NBC Sports. "We want to get back as soon as we can, but obviously its got to be realistic. It cant be sitting in our hotel rooms, just going from the field to the hotel room and not being able to do anything. I think thats pretty crazy." Clayton Kershaw posted:"I will say that situation, I just dont see that happening. Im not going to be away from my family and not seem them for four and a half months. I just talked about how much Cooper changes over one week, so to miss four months of his life right now, Im just not going to do it.

Its been a few weeks since I asked so Ill ask again for updated opinions: when do you think the next major sporting event (big 4, mls, golf, tennis, cfb, cbb ) will take place in America with a full complement of fans in attendance?

Next summer maybe? Assuming the peak of the pandemic, or second peak or whatever, hits in the fall, then things slowly get better, although not back to "normal", by next spring?

Never. All athletes and fans will be replaced with robots to ensure no illness can ever be spread.

ketchup vs catsup posted:It’s been a few weeks since I asked so I’ll ask again for updated opinions: Given some of the idiotic "protests" going on in some states, I could see two schools in a CFB-crazy state putting together a Homecoming game this fall and attracting a crowd of yahoos from all over. If Liberty hadn't already had its failed re-opening then I'd have penciled them in as one candidate. In terms of legit sanctioned people-have-optimism game, maybe May/June 2021 for baseball or car racing or golf, as a best-case scenario. More likely Fall 2021 or Summer 2022.

Without the big zoom cameras on towers, I think it would be hard to watch / tell where shots were going. And setting those up is a major endeavor. Maybe the stadium-style courses would be easier since they have elevated positions that usually have fans but could be used for cameras. Since I assume the whole point of this is to get something on TV to fulfill those contracts, skimping on the presentation might be a tough sell.

They might get some leniency for being literally the only live sport available.

Just borrow that old "glowing puck" technology that the NHL tried years ago right before HD got big enough that it became worthless.
